1 JUN 2024 · The celebration of Juneteenth is not just a remembrance of a historical event, but it's also a testament to the resilience and unwavering spirit of Black professionals throughout American history. This resilience is encapsulated beautifully by Maya Angelou, who once said, “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know WHO you are, WHAT you can rise from, and HOW you can still come out of it.”  These are words of wisdom we can all live by.
